Five talking points from the weekend’s Premier League

“I think that we made a lot of mistakes and we were punished by a team that [makes it] hard when you concede these chances”.

Liverpool continued their ideal start to the season to stay atop the Premier League after a goal in each half gave them a 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley on Saturday.

Ahead of Spurs’ match against Liverpool on Saturday, he was asked if there would be two challengers taking to the field.

Erik Lamela scored a consolation goal for the hosts in stoppage time.

We play PSG and they won yesterday without Neymar and Mbappe, so they can rest players in the league.

“The players and staff onboard the club flight back to Liverpool sent the Brazilian a video wishing him well”, the team said.

Saturday’s victory means Chelsea have started a Premier League season with five successive wins for the fourth time, and first since 2010.

“I think if you compete and they were better you say congratulations but I think we cannot compare, make a bracket – Watford was Watford, Liverpool you can win or lose and I am not saying anything about attitude”.

Jurgen Klopp admitted he felt Mane and Salah had better options beside them on occasion against Spurs.

However, Klopp suggested that he is feeling the effects from a busy schedule with Gareth Southgate’s squad, and with a key Champions League clash coming up against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday, the German stressed it was important to have his skipper running at full capacity. Now we won a few games, that’s good, but it doesn’t change anything for us. I really thought defending against the ball, we were brilliant.

Manchester City’s Portuguese winger Bernardo Silva was hardly a peripheral figure in last season’s title winning campaign but nor was he fundamental to it, often used from the bench.

“We need to give time to the players to get their best and to show our potential in time”.

Fowler has also supported the view of former Manchester United star Gary Neville, who has suggested that any club – including Liverpool – will find it hard to challenge for Champions League and Premier League crowns in 2018-19.

“I don’t wait for problems, but I am old enough to know they will come”.
